AI can ace the LSAT. It can write essays in seconds. So what's left for human students to actually learn? David Petersen, who's been implementing AI in universities since before it was cool (or controversial), breaks down what education looks like when every student learns at the edge of their capability. Jason and David explore the messy reality of AI in the classroom—from spectacular hallucinations to the 99th percentile results at Alpha School, where students spend two hours daily with an AI instructor alongside their traditional teaching, pushing each learner to their optimal challenge level while human educators focus on fostering creativity, collaboration, and real-world skills. If you're an educator, student, or parent wondering whether to embrace or resist AI in learning, this conversation will give you a roadmap for the inevitable future that's already here.

Meta just committed $65 billion to AI infrastructure. OpenAI's Stargate project is burning through $500 billion. The AI arms race isn't coming, it's here! But as tech giants pour trillions into compute power, a bigger question looms… Who's making sure this doesn't go sideways?

Join AI Diatribe Host Jason Lowe with Meta's Aditya Gautam (ML Technical Lead) and IBM's Matt Konwiser (Regional CTO). as they pull back the curtain on what's really happening. From the "5 C's" that will keep you employed (hint: coding isn't one of them) to why AI companies can't be trusted to police themselves, this conversation goes places most won't. They tackle the uncomfortable truths about energy consumption, the collapse of human creativity, and why consciousness might be the only moat humans have left.

If you're wondering whether to panic, pivot, or double down on AI, this episode will give you answers you won't hear anywhere else.

What happens when intelligence becomes a commodity? In our eye-opening two-part conversation with IBM Field CTO Matt Konwiser on AI Diatribe, we dive deep into the real-world impact AI is already having on jobs, the economy, and society as a whole.

Part 1 explored the current disruption: 85 million jobs expected to be displaced by year's end, major companies scaling back entry-level hiring, and the growing conversation around Universal Basic Income. We broke down which jobs are most vulnerable and why the "lowest rungs of the career ladder have just been cut out."

Part 2 takes you further down the rabbit hole, examining AGI timelines, the risk of humans becoming "doom-scrolling zombies," and practical advice for adapting to our AI-driven future. From insider perspectives on enterprise AI adoption to why we should fear becoming the Borg more than Skynet, this conversation gets real about what's coming.
